Interim Report January 1 to March 31, 2015
Group management report
HoMAG Group: Integration proceeding according to plan
At the beginning of october 2014, we acquired a majority interest in the HoMAG Group, the global market leader in woodprocessing machinery. since then, we have been integrating the company within the Dürr Group at a swift pace. At the same time, the HoMAG Group has been working on developing the broad-based FoCUs optimization program. FoCUs will enhance the efficiency and profitability of the HoMAG Group.
the main integration and optimization measures so far are as follows:
� Board of management/Supervisory Board: In october 2014, new appointments were made for some positions on HoMAG Group AG’s Board of Management and supervisory Board. the supervisory Board elected Dürr’s Ceo Ralf W. Die-ter as its chairman. Dürr CFo Ralph Heuwing assumed the position of Ceo of HoMAG Group AG in addition to his other duties on December 1, 2014. Franz Peter Matheis was named new CFo of HoMAG Group AG effective April 1, 2015. Prior to this, he had been managing director of schenck Rotec GmbH and commercial director of Dürr’s Measuring and Process systems division. He re-places Hans-Dieter schumacher.
� corporate contract: Immediately after the acquisition, we started preparing a domination and profit transfer agreement between Dürr technologies GmbH and HoMAG Group AG. the contract came into effect on March 17, 2015 after being approved with a large majority at an extraordinary shareholder meeting held by HoMAG Group AG on March 5. It forms a solid basis for relations bet-ween Dürr and the HoMAG Group and facilitates the implementation of FoCUs. As expected, free shareholders of HoMAG Group AG sought valuation proceed-ings after the contract took effect with the aim of having the compensation which we had offered (€ 31.56 per share) reviewed. Customarily, such pro-ceedings take several years, during which the domination and profit transfer agreement remains in full effect.
� Integration: the integration of the HoMAG Group within the Dürr Group has been ongoing since the end of october 2014 and is being overseen by an inte-gration team comprising department heads from both companies. A total of 22 work groups have been established to address matters such as funding, purchasing, technology, It and service. the synergy potential is valued at € 5 to 10 million and is to be harnessed swiftly.
� Funding: We have already initiated a restructuring of group funding to tap sy-nergy potential.the HoMAG Group AG’s syndicated loan facility for € 210 million will be terminated effective May 29, 2015. Instead, the HoMAG Group will be

drawing on the Dürr Group’s less expensive facilities. For this purpose, the syn-dicated loan secured by Dürr AG in March 2014 is being topped up from € 300 million to € 465 million (cash facility of € 250 million, previously € 100 million / guarantee facility of € 215 million, previously € 200 million) also effective May 29, 2015. the integration of the HoMAG Group within the Dürr funding system will reduce net finance expense by € 2.3 million p.a. from 2016. the funding adjustments lead to non-cash one-off charges of € 3.9 million; of this, € 3.3 million were recognized in the first quarter and € 0.6 million will be booked in the second quarter of 2015.
� optimization/FocuS: the definition of the FoCUs optimization program has now been largely completed, with implementation to commence in June 2015. the central elements of the program are as follows:
► Business expansion in China and the United states
► expansion of service business
► Reinforcement of project business with end-to-end production lines for
woodprocessing
► organizational reorientation under the headline “one HoMAG”
► Process optimization
► It optimization
► Adjustments to incentive systems
the HoMAG Group wants to further increase sales and earnings with the aid of FoCUs. on the strength of the optimization measures that will be initiated together with Dürr from 2015 onwards it will be seeking to achieve target saIes of € 1.25 billion and an eBIt margin of 8 to 10 % in 2020.
Further improvement in operating earningsthe HoMAG Group, which constitutes the Woodworking Machinery and systems division within the Dürr Group, increased its operating eBIt (after employee par-ticipation expense) from € 5.6 million to € 12.4 million in the first quarter of 2015. this reflected increased sales with corresponding economies of scale as well as the absence of the effects of first-time consolidation of Us subsidiary stiles. However, the following effects should be borne in mind:
� In the first quarter, extraordinary charges of € 11.5 million arising from purchase price allocation were taken by the Woodworking Machinery and sys-tems division – this is roughly two thirds of the purchase price allocation costs expected for 2015 as a whole. We expect PPA costs of around € 2 million over each of the next few quarters.
� the Dürr Group’s net finance expense was burdened by around € 9 million in the first quarter of 2015 as a result of the consolidation of the HoMAG Group. this figure includes the HoMAG Group’s net finance expense as well as extra-ordinary expenses in connection with the domination and profit transfer agree-ment as well as for the termination of HoMAG Group AG’s syndicated loan. over the next few quarters of 2015, the strain on net finance expense caused by the domination and profit transfer agreement will subside substantially. similarly, we expect a materially lower burden in 2016 compared with 2015. the domina-tion and profit transfer agreement gives Dürr control over the HoMAG Group.
7
Interim Report January 1 to March 31, 2015
Accordingly, 100 % of the HoMAG Group´s earnings accrue to us. Under the agreement, the free shareholders of HoMAG Group AG are no longer entitled to a variable share of the profit, receiving instead a guarantee dividend.
� the tax rate temporarily rose to 52.7 % as a result of the domination and profit transfer agreement but will return to a normal level of around 30 % in the next few quarters.
� We expect extraordinary optimization expense of around € 10 million to arise in 2015 for the FoCUs program. the program did not produce any extraordinary expense in the first quarter of 2015.
operating environment
economythe global economy continued on its moderate growth trend in the first quarter of 2015. In europe, the weak euro and sustained low interest rates spurred the eco-nomy, while the slump in Brazil and Russia continued. the world’s major central banks retained their accommodative monetary policies, with the Us Fed similarly seeing no need to raise its rates.
the global economy looks set to grow by 3.4 % in 2015 as a whole and at a slightly swifter rate in 2016. the eurozone economies should continue to benefit from ex-change rate effects, while there are signs of a slightly slower economic development in north America. the upswing in India should become more sustained against the backdrop of low commodity prices. China, which is increasingly pursuing a course of sustainable economic growth, should report a roughly 7 % increase in GDP.

Interim Report January 1 to March 31, 2015
automotIve InDuStryWorld production and sales volumes in the automotive industry continued to expand in the first quarter of 2015, albeit with substantial regional differences. At 11 %, China, the world’s largest automotive market, posted further double-digit growth, while in europe sales and production were spurred by inexpensive fuel prices and low financing costs. Whereas the Us automotive market remained robust, sales fi-gures in Brazil, Russia and Japan dropped significantly. the situation in Russia and Brazil is not likely to improve as the year progresses. on the other hand, the Indian automotive market should continue to recover.

General mechanIcal enGIneerInGthe German Mechanical and Plant engineering Association (VDMA) forecasts a slight increase in production output in Germany for 2015. order intake rose by 2 % over the previous year in the first quarter of 2015. Global sales revenues in the me-chanical engineering sector climbed by a nominal 5 % between December 2014 and February 2015, with a similar figure expected for 2015 as a whole; in this connection, the key markets of China and the United states should grow at above-average rates.

Business performance1
orDer Intake SuBStantIally up on the prevIouS yearthe Dürr Group’s order intake climbed by 58.7 % to € 895.5 million in the first quar-ter of 2015. this pronounced growth was primarily due to the consolidation of the HoMAG Group, which had not yet been part of Dürr in the year-ago period. Adjusted for the consolidation of the HoMAG Group, new orders increased by 7.8 % to € 608.3 million.
At 16.8 %, the Measuring and Process systems division posted the strongest growth in new orders, followed by Paint and Final Assembly systems (9.8 %). order intake for Application technology remained roughly on a par with the previous year in the first quarter of 2015 (down 1.3 %), while Clean technology systems sustained a 7.9 % decline due to weak ordering in europe. At € 287.2, the new Woodworking Machi-nery and systems division (HoMAG Group) achieved the greatest order intake in the Group.
order receipts from the emerging markets (Mexico, Brazil, eastern europe, Asia excluding Japan) grew by 39.6 % to € 463.7 million, again accounting for more than half (51.8 %) of total new orders. new orders were more or less unchanged over the first quarter of 2014 in China but remained at a low level in Brazil, India and Russia. order intake in north America was well up on the previous year. the growth in eu-rope was influenced to an above-average degree by the acquisition of the HoMAG Group and resulted from an increase of 31.2 % in Germany and of 181.0 % in the other countries.

Sharp Growth In SaleS revenueS the inclusion of the HoMAG Group also resulted in a substantial increase in sales from € 538.2 million in the first quarter of 2014 to € 849.2 million (up 57.8 %). How-ever, even adjusted for the HoMAG Group, sales revenues still grew by 10.5 % to € 594.8 million.
service business rose by 64.5 % in the first quarter of 2015 and thus more quickly than consolidated sales. At € 213.8 million, it contributed 25.2 % to the consolidated top line. service revenues grew at a disproportionately strong rate (up 19.6 %) on a like-for-like basis, i.e. excluding the HoMAG Group, too. We expect service business to continue growing in the course of the year, driven by the sharp expansion in our installed basis and the Customerexcellence@Dürr optimization program with which we are enhancing the range and quality of our services.
Regionally, sales are very evenly distributed even after the HoMAG acquisition. In the first quarter of 2015, 15 % of revenues were generated in Germany, 26 % in other european countries and 28 % in north and south America. Asia, Africa and Australia accounted for 30 %. the proportion attributable to the emerging markets contracted from 57 % to 48 % as the HoMAG Group has a smaller presence in these regions than our other activities.
As orders again exceeded sales revenues slightly, we registered a book-to-bill ra-tio of 1.05 in the first quarter of 2015. orders on hand rose by € 744.0 million over March 31, 2014, coming to a high of € 2,904.7 million. this marks an increase of € 179.4 million since the end of 2014, of which € 100 million is due to currency-translation effects.
Growth In GroSS proFIt trackInG SaleS revenueS the consolidation of the HoMAG Group has led to a number of structural changes in the Dürr Group’s income statement. the HoMAG Group’s overhead costs are more pronounced as sales and marketing efforts are more complex in view of the broad customer base. At the same time, there is a greater percentage in internal sourcing compared with our other activities, something which is particularly reflected in the cost of materials. the HoMAG Group’s operating margins have not yet reached the levels exhibited by the other divisions, although this is to be achieved step by step with the FoCUs optimization program (see page 6).
Gross profit climbed by 56.9 % to € 181.5 million in the first quarter of 2015, thus tracking the growth in sales revenues. In this connection, the disproportionately strong growth in service business left positive traces. At 21.4 %, the gross margin held steady at the year-ago level (21.5 %). the cost of sales rose at the same rate as sales revenues. the ratio of the consolidated cost of materials to sales increased appreciably from 38.7 % in the year-ago quarter to 43.3 %. this is mainly attributable
11
Interim Report January 1 to March 31, 2015
to a 76.3 % increase in the consolidated cost of materials to € 367.6 million as a result of the inclusion of the HoMAG Group. the cost of materials is fully included in the cost of sales and mainly comprises the sourcing of parts and production and assembly services.

1 selling, administration and R&D expenses
SuBStantIal Improvement In operatInG earnInGS employees numbers climbed by 72.2 % to 14,220 on March 31, 2015, particularly as a result of first-time consolidation operations. overhead costs (including R&D ex-penses) rose by a disproportionately strong 89.5 % to € 135.7 million. R&D spending was up 82.5 %, rising to € 21.2 million as a result of our innovation course. other operating income net of other operating expense came to € 1.6 million (Q1 2014: € 0.1 million) and therefore again did not exert any major influence on earnings. the most important individual items were currency translation gains and losses.
Driven by the strong gross profit, eBIt increased by 7.3 % to € 47.4 million in the first quarter of 2015. As expected, the eBIt margin contracted from 8.2 % to 5.6 %, particularly as a result of the extraordinary expenses of € 11.5 million in connection with purchase price allocation for the HoMAG Group. It should also be borne in mind that the HoMAG Group’s margins are still below those of our other activities. At the operating level, eBIt came to € 58.9 million, translating into an eBIt mar-gin of 6.9 %. Looking forward, the charges from purchase price allocation will drop substantially to around € 2 million per quarter. eBItDA climbed by 39.6 % to € 70.8 million in the first quarter of 2015, with depreciation and amortization coming to € 23.4 million.

Interim Report January 1 to March 31, 2015
net finance expense widened from € 3.9 million to € 11.9 million due to three main factors: the net finance expense of the HoMAG Group, extraordinary expenses un-der the domination and profit transfer agreement which came into effect with the HoMAG Group in March and non-recurring expenses of € 3.3 million from the in-clusion of the HoMAG Group in the less expensive Dürr Group funding (see page 5 for further information). Looking forward over the next few quarters, net finance expenses will be reduced as the extraordinary charges will either decrease or com-pletely disappear.
tax expense and the tax rate were also appreciably affected by the consolidation of the HoMAG Group, rising to € 18.9 million and 52.7 %, respectively, in the first quar-ter of 2015 (Q1 2014: € 11.2 million and 27.7 %, respectively), causing earnings after tax to drop from € 29.2 million to € 17.0 million. the HoMAG Group generated high income in the United states with an average tax rate of 37 %. Moreover, a number of foreign HoMAG Group companies sustained losses which could not be deducted from tax liability. In addition to these structural factors, tax expense also includes extraordinary effects arising from the domination and profit transfer agreement. However, these will decline over the next few quarters. the tax rate for 2015 as a whole should remain above 30 %; however, we are striving for our target figure of 30 % in 2016.
materIal eventSthere were no singular events in the first quarter of 2015 materially impacting the Dürr Group’s results of operations, financial condition and net assets. the effects of the muted market conditions in Russia were limited as the volume of our business in this country has made only a small contribution over the last few years. We were able to largely make up for the absence of any major projects in Brazil with our good position in service and modernization business. the depreciation of the euro particularly spurred our mechanical engineering business.
actual perFormance vS. ForecaSt: BuSIneSS perFormance In lIne wIth expectatIonSBusiness largely performed in accordance with our expectations in the first quarter of 2015, with sales revenues, order receipts and operating earnings rising substan-tially in some cases. We had anticipated the extraordinary charges in connection with the HoMAG acquisition and referred to them in our reporting on 2014. At this stage, we reaffirm the full-year forecast for 2015 formulated in March, which provi-des for sales revenues of € 3.4 to 3.5 billion and order intake of € 3.2 to 3.5 billion. the eBIt margin should come to between 7.0 and 7.5 %. Further information on our full-year forecasts can be found in the outlook section on page 27.

Financial position
caSh Flow From operatInG actIvItIeS at a hIGh levelAt € 39.6 million, cash flow from operating activities remained at the previous year’s good level (Q1 2014: € 42.7 million) despite a € 24.4 increase in net working capital (nWC) as well as higher depreciation and amortization and provisions. We expect nWC to continue growing until the end of the year: As of December 31, 2014, the prepayments received from customers exceeded the normal level by around € 200 million; this liquidity will now be successively channeled into order execu-tion, causing nWC to increase.

* Currency translation effects have been eliminated from the cash flow statement. As such, the cash flow statement does not fully reflect all changes in balance sheet positions as shown in the statement of financial position.
cash flow from investing activities came to € -8.2 million in the first quarter of 2015 (Q1 2014: € -14.9 million), the main determinants here being the cancellation of term deposits and net outflows for capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment.
cash flow from financing activities stood at € -3.9 million in the first quarter of 2015 (Q1 2014: € -2.0 million), mainly as a result of changes in current and non-current financial liabilities, which however more or less canceled each other out.
Driven by the encouraging cash flow from operating activities, free cash flow was also a positive € 22.3 million (Q1 2014: € 33.8 million). the net financial status of € 220.2 million includes currency translation differences of € 27.5 million.

trade receivables and inventories rose by a total of € 47.6 million. on the other side of the balance sheet, trade payables increased by € 21.4 million. As a result, net working capital climbed by € 24.4 million over the end of 2014 to € 113.2 million be-fore currency translation. At € 1,138.7 million, non-current assets remained largely unchanged over December 31, 2014. Compared with the end of 2014, cash and cash equivalents rose by € 54.9 million to € 576.9 million due partially to the positive free cash flow.

Interim Report January 1 to March 31, 2015
the equity attributable to the shareholders of Dürr AG rose to € 630.7 million as of March 31, 2015 due to the net profit after tax. non-controlling interests dropped substantially from € 110.4 to € 15.5 million as a consequence of the domination and profit transfer agreement entered into with HoMAG Group AG. Upon the contract ta-king effect on March 17, 2015, we reclassified the interests of the free shareholders of HoMAG Group AG, which had previously been reported as non-controlling in-terests, as sundry financial liabilities in accordance with IFRs. this reflects the fact that the contract gives us control over the HoMAG Group and that the free HoMAG Group shareholders will receive a guarantee dividend but no longer have a variable entitlement to profits. the entitlements under the guarantee dividend are likewise recognized within other financial liabilities.
the derecognition of the non-controlling interests caused the equity ratio to drop by 3.5 percentage points over the end of 2014 to 20.9 %. We expect the equity ratio to increase again as the year progresses and have defined a target of 30 %, which we want to achieve by retaining profits.

Current and non-current liabilities climbed by € 200.1 million over December 31, 2014. this is mainly due to the fact that we have recognized the guarantee dividend entitlement of the free HoMAG shareholders under other financial liabilities. At € 1,149.7 million, trade payables remained the largest item on the liabilities side. the prepayments received from customers included in this item remained steady compared with the end of 2014, coming to € 770.3 million. Provisions increased by a net € 25.6 million to € 206.4 million. Pension provisions rose by € 5.6 million due to a further reduction to 1.5 % of the discount factor used to calculate pension obligations.

DeBt capItal anD FunDInG Structureour funding structure comprised the following elements in the first quarter of 2015:
� Corporate bond issued by Dürr AG for € 300 million � syndicated loan held by Dürr AG for € 300 million � syndicated loan held by HoMAG Group AG for € 207.5 million � Real estate loan for the purchase of the Dürr Campus in Bietigheim-Bissingen
(2011) with a carrying amount of € 39.3 million as of March 31, 2015. � Bilateral credit facilities of a smaller volume and liabilities from finance leases.
In addition to money and capital market instruments, we are also able to utilize off-balance-sheet financing instruments such as factoring programs and operating leases.
the HoMAG Group AG’s syndicated loan facility will be terminated effective May 29, 2015 in connection with the integration of that company. on the same day, the syndicated loan held by Dürr AG will be increased to € 465 million. this will reduce our net finance expense by € 2.3 million p.a. from 2016. non-recurring expense of € 3.3 million arose in this connection in the first quarter of 2015, with a further € 0.6 million to be recognized in the second quarter of 2015. Please also refer to the section entitled “HoMAG: Integration proceeding according to plan” on page 5.
oFF-Balance-Sheet FInancInG InStrumentS anD oBlIGatIonSthere has largely been no change in the volume of off-balance-sheet financing instruments and obligations since the end of 2014. Future minimum payments under operating leases amounted to € 135.9 million as of March 31, 2015 (December 31, 2014: € 135.1 million). operating leases constitute the most important form of off-balance-sheet finance for Dürr. only a small volume of forfaiting, factoring or negotiation operations (€ 25.0 million) was transacted in the first quarter of 2015.
As of March 31, 2015, all loan and guarantee facilities had a combined value of € 1,080.5 million (December 31, 2014: € 1,111.2 million). total drawdowns of all available loan and guarantee facilities stood at € 475.5 million (December 31, 2014: € 495.7 million). the guarantees mainly encompass credit guarantees and sureties and do not constitute off-balance-sheet finance instruments.

R&D and capital expenditure
In the first quarter of 2015, we increased our direct R&D spending by 82.5 % to € 21.2 million. this sharp growth was primarily due to the consolidation of the HoMAG Group, which had not yet been part of Dürr in the year-ago period. the R&D ratio climbed from 2.2 % to 2.5 % also as a result of the inclusion of the HoMAG Group, which has a higher R&D ratio of 4.0 %. In addition to direct R&D expense, the cost of sales includes further development costs arising in connection with the execution of individual customer contracts. In addition, we capitalized development costs of € 3.1 million as intangible assets (Q1 2014: € 0.7 million). the number of R&D employees rose by 143 % to 635 people (March 31, 2014: 263) primarily as a result of the consolidation of the HoMAG Group.
r&D actIvItIeS oF the DIvISIonSAutomotive oeMs demand consistently high-quality painting results in series production. this is possible only by controlling the temperature and humidity inside the painting booths precisely. It is with this in mind that Paint and Final Assembly systems has developed the innovative ecosmart AC control system. With fully automated process management for air intake and circulation systems, ecosmart AC responds to even the smallest change in ambient conditions ten times a second. ecosmart AC can be fitted to new painting booths or used to retool existing ones, thus improving the energy efficiency of the painting process.
During the painting process, particles are deposited on the atomizer used to apply the paint. this makes it necessary to clean the atomizer regularly. to address this problem, the Application technology division has developed an optimized solution known as ecoBell Cleaner D2. Installed directly next to the painting robot, it cleans the atomizer by means of three rotating jets, drying it with a blower ring. Compared with the previous model, it reduces cleaning media consumption and emissions of solvents by over 90 % despite the shorter cleaning cycles. the ecoBell Cleaner D2 adapts to the cycle of the painting processes and can be used for different kinds of paints and atomizers.
Within the Clean technology systems division, the energy efficiency segment has developed further applications for the thermeco2 high-temperature heat pump technology. one example is the provision of large volumes of compressed air using Dürr thermea’s compressed air refrigerant drier. Unrivaled anywhere in the world, this system is already being used by a German automotive oeM. It is also suitable for use in sectors such as energy production, iron and steel and the production of food and beverages. the underlying thermeco2 heat pump technology is energy efficient and utilizes the climate-friendly refrigerant Co2. Indeed, Co2 is the refrigerant of the future give that the european Union has imposed severe restrictions on other refrigerants due to their adverse effect on the environment.

R&D activities in the Woodworking Machinery and systems division (HoMAG Group) were dominated by preparations for the main industry fair “Ligna” taking place in May. As the largest exhibitor, HoMAG will be concentrating on networked production and batch-size 1 production. one highlight in the batch-size 1 segment is the innovative HPs 320 flex tec saw system, which allows panels to be individually cut to size without the need for any manual handling and automatically forwarded to the following production processes.
capItal expenDIture Capital expenditure rose by € 9.0 million over the first quarter of 2014, coming to € 17.3 million. of this, the new Woodworking Machinery and systems division (HoMAG Group) accounted for € 6.5 million. Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment came to € 11.3 million and includes the construction of a training center in south Korea and spending on two new Campuses in China and the United states. A sum of € 6.0 million was spent on licenses, software and other intangible assets (Q1 2014: € 2.7 million). Corporate Center capital expenditure (€ 0.6 million) mainly comprises the purchases made by the globally active Dürr It service GmbH (software and licenses), as the holding company, Dürr AG normally generates only a small volume of capital spending.
equity investments were valued at € 8.2 million in the first quarter of 2015 and entailed an increase in our share in thermea energiesysteme GmbH from 30.0 % to 87.6 %. Following this transaction, the company, which specializes in environment-friendly large-scale heat pumps, was renamed Dürr thermea GmbH.
effective January 14, 2015, we sold Dürr Automation s.A.s (France) to Automation Holding GmbH, a subsidiary of Quantum International Partners GmbH. the activities sold had formed part of the industrial cleaning technology business assigned to Measuring and Process systems and were no longer part of our core business. the transaction yielded a loss of € 4.3 million, which was recognized in 2014.

order intake in the Paint and Final Assembly systems division climbed by 9.8 % to € 278.9 million in the first quarter of 2015, underpinned by several medium-sized projects in north America, europe and China. At 67 % (Q1 2014: 77 %), the emerging markets again contributed a greater proportion of orders to the Paint and Final Assembly systems division compared to the Group as a whole. In line with expec-tations, sales in the first quarter rose by a substantial 18.4 % as we partly caught up customer-induced project delays which had arisen in the previous year. Despite this, orders on hand were up on the end of 2014 due to currency translation effects. Driven by the increased sales, eBIt climbed to € 23.1 million.

Business performance in the Application technology division was stable in the first quarter of 2015. At € 133.6 million, order intake was virtually on the previous year´s level. We received major orders for painting robots and application technology from China, europe and the United states. As expected, the Industrial Painting segment, which had been established in 2014, made only a small contribution. sales in the Application technology division rose slightly in the first quarter. Despite this, the book-to-bill ratio was above 1. eBIt in the Application technology division rose slightly to € 13.0 million, with the eBIt margin unchanged at 10.0 %. the headcount rose by 15.6 % compared with March 31, 2014 to 1,818 employees. this was mainly due to the establishment of industrial painting business and the related acquisition of two companies in Germany and the Czech Republic in the second quarter of 2014.

Looking forward, the purchase price allo-cation charges will drop to around € 2 million per quarter.
In the first quarter of 2015, the HoMAG Group performed encouragingly in terms of business volumes and also earnings. Driven by substantial growth in Western europe and Asia, order intake and sales rose by 11 % and 24 %, respectively, year over year. eBIt after employee participation expense more than doubled from € 5.6 million to € 12.4 million thanks to the strong Us dollar as well as productivity gains and economies of scale.
corporate center In the Corporate Center comprising Dürr AG and Dürr It service GmbH, the loss at the eBIt level widened by € 0.4 million to € 2.6 million in the first quarter due to increased personnel expense. this also includes consolidation effects of € -0.2 million (Q1 2014: € -0.3 million). the Corporate Center also includes the Group’s It spending. employee numbers rose by 31 % to 194 as a number of human resource functions were reallocated to the Corporate Center.

opportunities and risks
rISkSA detailed description of the customary risks of our business and the risk manage-ment system installed by Dürr can be found in the 2014 annual report (from page 124), which was published on March 31, 2015. there are currently no discernible risks which either individually or in conjunction with other risks are liable to pose any threat to the Group’s going-concern status. We consider our overall risk situa-tion to be readily manageable.
Despite the disparate conditions in the global economy, we do not see any acute risks to the stability of our business. In China, our most important market, GDP growth looks set to slow to around 7 % this year. However, the market information at our disposal suggests that the high levels of capital spending in the automotive industry will continue. If contrary to expectations capital spending in China were to drop markedly, this would leave substantial traces on Dürr’s top and bottom line. the risks to which we are exposed in Brazil are manageable despite the muted conditions of the local automotive industry. We are able to make up for the absence of any major projects in Brazil with our good position in service and modernization business. Although we are feeling the effects of the economic slowdown in Russia, this market contributes only a small proportion of around 2 % to our business. How-ever, we had been expecting the Russian market to grow up until the outbreak of the Ukraine crisis as the country had been considered to offer key future potential for the automotive industry.
the most serious risks to which our operating business is exposed concern project execution/engineering. Given the size and complexity of many contracts, it is not always possible to exclude the risk of a failure to meet schedules and commitments, resulting in added expense. However, we view this risk as being largely manageable as we have sufficient capacity to cover the current volume of business.
Despite extensive due-diligence activities ahead of planned acquisitions, sales re-venues, earnings and synergistic effects may fall short of the defined targets. this risk is also present with the HoMAG Group transaction especially as this is our largest acquisition since 2000. the decision to go ahead with the acquisition of the HoMAG Group was preceded by careful examinations and analyses. the company is being integrated within the Dürr Group in accordance with a detailed schedule. An overarching steering committee, a project management team and 22 teams made up of specialists from Dürr and the HoMAG Group form the basis for a structured approach to this plan.

Interim Report January 1 to March 31, 2015
opportunItIeSA detailed description of the opportunities arising from our business and the op-portunities management system installed at Dürr can be found in the 2014 annual report (starting on page 136). this section now proceeds to describe a number of material opportunities.
the acquisition of a majority interest in the HoMAG Group is unleashing numerous opportunities. the FoCUs optimization program (see page 5) will allow the HoMAG Group to widen its market share from a current figure of just under 30 % and to generate additional contributions to the top and bottom line. With HoMAG, Dürr is evolving into a more broadly based mechanical and plant engineering company with less exposure to fluctuation in the automotive industry.
our installed base grows with every system and machine sold, thus generating po-tential for further growth in our service business. We are optimizing our service structures and processes with the Customerexcellence@Dürr program to harness this potential efficiently. this also includes recruiting and additions to our service network, particularly in the emerging markets.
With respect to application technology, we see good opportunities for our new in-dustrial painting business. In addition to the automotive industry, we now also offer application components to the plastics, shipbuilding, ceramics, wood and furniture industries. our aim is to generate sales of € 100 million from this business in the medium term. the non-automotive application technology market is worth around € 3 billion per year; of this, we are basically able to address around half.
Automotive production in south-east Asia is expected to grow by a good 10 % per year through 2019. Consequently, spending in additional production capacities is also likely to pick up. We established a national company in thailand in 2012 to access this potential. It was joined by a further two sales and service companies in Malaysia and Indonesia in 2014.

outlook
operatInG envIronmentthe economy is expected to hold steady in 2015, with global GDP growth coming to 3.4 % thanks to low energy prices, improved consumer confidence and the central banks’ accommodative monetary policies with historically low interest rates in eu-rope. Looking forward to 2016, global growth should reach 3.7 %. this is summa-rized in the table on page 7.
Automotive sales growth should at least keep pace with GDP growth in the indivi-dual regions of the world in 2015. In europe, automotive production is set to grow by a rate in the mid-single digits. China will likely achieve growth of just under 9 %, thus keeping its leading role in global automotive production. Market conditions for the automotive industry will also remain consistently favorable in north Ameri-ca, although growth will probably slow for baseline reasons. Market observers also consider the longer-term outlook for the automotive industry to be favorable. In April 2015, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) corrected its global production forecast minimally due to the economic problems in Russia and Brazil but expects a CAGR of 4.4 % through 2019.

SaleS revenueS, IncomInG orDerS anD earnInGSon the strength of our business performance in the first quarter, we reaffirm our full-year forecast for 2015 especially as the project pipeline is well filled with future investment projects on the part of our customers. the table above summarizes our targets.
Full-year sales should come to between € 3.4 and 3.5 billion in 2015. top-line growth will be particularly fueled by the HoMAG Group, which will be consolidated for the first full year. In addition, we expect to achieve growth in our other activities as well. order intake should move in a range of € 3.2 to 3.5 billion, bringing the order backlog to a value of at least € 2.4 billion by the end of the year. We are seeking a full-year eBIt margin in a target corridor of between 7.0 and 7.5 % for 2015. this forecast factors in the lower average margins reported by the HoMAG Group as well as the effects of purchase price allocation.
net finance expense will increase substantially in 2015 due to the aforementioned factors arising from the acquisition of the HoMAG Group. However, we expect a sub-stantial improvement in 2016. the tax rate will probably be well in excess of 30 % in 2015 also as a result of the extraordinary effects in connection with the acquisition of HoMAG. earnings after tax should therefore rise only slightly. In accordance with our long-term dividend policy, the distribution for 2015 should be between 30 and 40 % of consolidated net profit.

Interim Report January 1 to March 31, 2015
DIvISIonSAfter the extraordinarily high earnings in 2014, Paint and Final Assembly systems is expecting a lower eBIt margin, although sales should be up substantially for billing reasons. only minor changes to sales and earnings are anticipated in the Applica-tion technology division especially as the new industrial painting business is still only making a minor contribution to the top line. Business volumes in the Measu-ring and Process systems division should remain at least stable, with earnings likely to be down slightly on the previous year’s high. Clean technology systems is budgeting increases in sales and earnings for 2015. Woodworking Machinery and systems business should widen appreciably; however, the eBIt margin is not likely to exceed 3.5 or 4 % in 2015 due to the high expenses in connection with purchase price allocation.
caSh Flow, capItal expenDIture, FInancIal poSItIonAs in the previous year, the high cash flow achieved in 2014 was characterized by unusually large and partly early prepayments in the second half of the year. As we expect prepayments to return to normal in 2015, cash flow from operating activities and free cash flow should be accordingly lower. Cash flow from operating activities adjusted for fluctuations in net working capital should again come to € 250 to 300 million, however. We assume that the cash flow and the high cash and cash equiva-lents will be sufficient to cover operating funding requirements (capital expenditure, interest payments etc.) and the dividend distribution in 2015.
Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment and on intangible assets came to € 54.9 million in 2014. this figure will be exceeded in 2015 due to the full-year inclusion of the HoMAG Group and probably reach € 70 to 80 million (net of acquisitions). Around 55 % of capital expenditure will be for replacement purchasing and around 45 % for location-based projects, particularly the construction of new Campus locations in China and the United states. Minor equity and technology ac-quisitions to supplement our range are also conceivable in 2015. However, transac-tions of a magnitude matching the HoMAG Group are not expected. We will be able to fund these activities from our high cash position and cash flow.
At this stage, we project a net financial status of € 50 to 150 million at the end of 2015. Cash and cash equivalents should come to between € 400 million and € 500 million. equity will increase substantially in the course of 2015, resulting in an equity ratio of probably 24 to 25 % again by the end of the year. We currently do not have any corporate actions planned for the current year. the syndicated loan will be drawn on only in individual cases at most, particularly to finance net working capital.
employeeSthere should be a slight increase in employee numbers in 2015. this growth will be very largely attributable to the emerging markets, which should account for some 30 % of the total Group headcount by the end of the year.

39 % IncreaSe In Dürr Share In the FIrSt Quarter
the equities markets were in decidedly good condition in the first quarter of 2015, with the DAX and MDAX both rising by more than 22 % to new highs. the sDAX also hit a new all-time high. the setting for this rally was provided by the sustained ac-commodative monetary policies of the central banks and high investor liquidity in tandem with the absence of any attractive alternatives in view of the low yields on bonds. on the other side, uncertainty was triggered by the crises in Ukraine and the Middle east, the risk of a “Grexit” and warnings of further terrorist attacks in europe.

Interim Report January 1 to March 31, 2015
the Dürr share performed well in the first quarter of 2015. After entering the year at € 73.28, it reached an all-time high of € 105.70 on March 16, closing the quarter at € 102.50. this is equivalent to a gain of 39 % since the beginning of the year. In ad-dition to the upbeat environment for equities, our share benefited from the fact that the HoMAG acquisition is now mostly being viewed favorably in the capital market. this view was supported by the good business figures for 2014 which we released on March 9, 2015. BonD traDInG at 109 %Issued in April 2014, our bond for € 300 million (IsIn Xs1048589458) has a coupon of 2.875 % p.a. and matures in 2021. there is no early call option. At the end of March, the bond was trading at 109.0 % (December 31, 2014: 106.5 %), resulting in a return of 1.3 %.
ShareholDer Structurethe Dürr family as the anchor shareholder holds a total of 28.7 % of Dürr AG’s stock. of this, 25.2 % is held by Heinz Dürr GmbH and a further 3.5 % by Heinz und Heide Dürr stiftung. Looking forward, the family plans to retain an interest of over 25 % in Dürr AG. the members of the Board of Management Ralf W. Dieter (Ceo) and Ral-ph Heuwing (CFo) reduced their holdings slightly in the first quarter of 2015 from a combined 0.7 % to 0.6 %. At 71.3 %, the free float as defined by Deutsche Börse remains at a high level. Daily trading volumes in the German exchanges came to 127,000 shares, down from 172,000 in the first quarter of 2014. this decline was mainly due to a further increase in over-the-counter trading.

accounting policiesthe consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Internatio-nal Financial Reporting standards (IFRss) as adopted by the european Union (eU) at the end of the reporting period, and the additional requirements of German com-mercial law pursuant to sec. 315a (1) HGB [“Handelsgesetzbuch”: German Com-mercial Code].
the consolidated statements of income for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014 have been prepared for interim financial information. the same applies to the consolida-ted statements of comprehensive income and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the first quarter 2015 and 2014, for the consolidated statements of financi-al position as of March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014, and March 31, 2014, and also for the consolidated statements of changes in equity for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014 and the explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements. these interim consolidated financial statements are condensed and prepared in compli-ance with International Accounting standard (IAs) 34 „Interim Financial Reporting”.
the interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2015, are not subject to any audit pursuant to sec. 317 HGB.
39
Interim Report January 1 to March 31, 2015
the accounting policies used generally correspond to the methods applied in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014; please refer to our 2014 annual report.
the changes in accounting policies result from the adoption of the following new or revised standards:
� Amendments to IAs 19 “employee Benefits”: the amendment regulates the recognition of employee or third-party contributions to defined benefit plans as a reduction of service cost should these reflect the work performed in the re-porting period. the amendment will only have a slight effect in the Dürr Group as only a few pension plans in certain countries will be affected by the amend-ment.
the amendments contained in the 2010 - 2012 and 2011 - 2013 annual improve-ments projects will not have any effects, or no material effects, on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Annual improvements project 2010 - 2012 cycle
� IFRs 2 “share-based Payment”: the amendment clarifies the definition of ve-sting conditions and market conditions.
� IFRs 3 “Business Combinations”: By amending this standard and making sub-sequent changes to other standards, all contingent considerations not classi-fied as equity are subsequently measured at fair value recognizing all resulting effects in profit or loss.
� IFRs 8: “operating segments”: newly included in IFRs 8 was the clarification that the underlying considerations made when merging business segments into reportable segments must be stated and a reconciliation of segment as-sets to the corresponding accounts in the statement of financial position is only necessary when disclosures on segment assets are regularly reported to the chief operating decision maker.
� IFRs 13 “Fair Value Measurement”: An amendment to the “Basis for Conclu-sions” in IFRs 13 clarifies that the IAsB, in making the amendments to IFRs 9 and IAs 39 resulting from IFRs 13, did not want to eliminate the possibility of opting out of discounting for current receivables and liabilities in the event of immateriality.
� IAs 16 “Property, Plant and equipment” and IAs 38 “Intangible Assets”: the amendment clarifies how to determine accumulated impairment as of the measurement date applying the remeasurement model pursuant to IAs 16 and IAs 38.
Annual improvements project 2011 - 2013 cycle
� IFRs 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting standards”: the amendment clarifies the meaning of effective date in connection with IFRs 1.
� IFRs 3 “Business Combinations”: the amendment establishes the existing ex-emption of joint ventures from the scope of IFRs 3.
40
Interim Report January 1 to March 31, 2015
� IFRs 13 “Fair Value Measurement”: IFRs 13 allows entities managing a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on the basis of their net market risk or risk of default to calculate the fair value of this group in accordance with the standard, as market participants would measure the net risk position on the measurement date (portfolio exception). the suggested amendment clarifies that this exception for determining the fair value relates to all agreements in the scope of IAs 39 “Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement” or IFRs 9 “Financial Instruments”, even if these do not satisfy the definition of a financial asset or a financial liability under IAs 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”.
� IAs 40 “Investment Property”: the amendment clarifies that the scope of IAs 40 and IFRs 3 “Business Combinations” are independent of each other, i.e., never mutually exclusive.
the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for interim reporting pursuant to IAs 34 requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the application of accounting policies in the Group as well as the re-ported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual figures may diverge from these estimates. the methods of estimation used generally correspond to the methods applied in the consoli-dated financial statements as of December 31, 2014.
expenses that incurred irregularly during the reporting period have been cut off in those cases where they would also be cut off at year-end. Dürr’s operations are not subject to material seasonal influences.
Income tax expenditure in the interim financial statements is deferred on the basis of the expected income tax rate for the individual entities for the year as a whole. Please refer to note 7 with regard to the special effects recorded within the framework of the domination and profit transfer agreement with HoMAG Group AG.
the consolidated financial statements are prepared in euros; all amounts are presented in thousands of euro (€ thousand or € k), unless stated otherwise.
since March 17, 2015, the domination and profit transfer agreement between HoMAG Group AG and Dürr technologies GmbH has been effective. For further information please refer to note 3.
In the reporting period no further unusual events occurred that had a material effect on the interim report as of March 31, 2015.

Interim Report January 1 to March 31, 2015
2. Consolidated Group
Besides Dürr AG, the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2015, con-tain all German and foreign entities which Dürr AG can control directly or indirect-ly. Under IFRs 10, control exists if an entity is exposed, or has rights to, positive or negative returns from its involvement with another entity. It must also have the ability to affect these variable returns through its power over the investee. Control can exist due to voting rights or prevailing circumstances as a result of contractual arrangements, among other things.
the entities are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which the possibility of control was obtained. For most of the group companies, control is based on holding the majority of voting rights. Pursuant to the contractual arrangements, Dürr has the power to exercise control over two entities. Consolida-tion of an entity included in the consolidated financial statements ceases when Dürr loses control over the entity.
the table below shows the number of entities included in the consolidated group besides Dürr AG as the parent:
march 31, 2015
December 31, 2014
Germany 30 30
other countries 76 79
106 109
the consolidated financial statements contain 13 entities (Dec. 31, 2014: 51) which have non-controlling interests. the decrease in the number of entities with non-controlling interests is primarily due to the conclusion of the domination and profit transfer agreement with HoMAG Group AG (please refer to note 3).
there are seven entities that are included in the consolidated financial statement at cost on grounds of immateriality.
entities accounted for using the equity methodentities over which Dürr exercises significant influence pursuant to IAs 28 (asso-ciates) and joint ventures as defined by IFRs 11 are accounted for using the equity method. significant influence is assumed with a share of voting rights ranging from 20 % to 50 %. For joint ventures, Dürr together with other venturers undertakes an economic activity which is subject to joint control. the parties which participate in joint control have rights to the net assets of the arrangement, but not to the indivi-dual assets and liabilities. Joint ventures and associates are included in the conso-lidated financial statements using the equity method from the date on which joint control or the possibility of significant influence existed. there were no material joint ventures as of March 31, 2015.

3. Domination and profit transfer agreement
on March 5, 2015, the extraordinary general meeting of HoMAG Group AG approved the domination and profit transfer agreement with Dürr technologies GmbH. this agreement gives Dürr technologies GmbH the possibility to issue instructions to the corporate bodies of HoMAG Group AG and to receive the en-tire profit of HoMAG Group AG. In return Dürr undertakes to pay compensation pursuant to sec. 304 AktG [“Aktiengesetz”: German stock Corporations Act] amounting to € 1.18 gross per HoMAG share (after deducting corporate tax and the solidarity surcharge € 1.01 net; before the shareholder‘s individual tax charge) for a full business year together with compensation pursuant to sec. 305 AktG amounting to € 31.56 per HoMAG share. For the current financial year Dürr technologies GmbH guarantees a guarantee dividend equating to the compensation payment. When the agreement was entered in the commer-cial register on March 17, 2015, the Dürr Group took control of HoMAG Group AG in accordance with the IFRs for consolidation purposes. therefore at this

Interim Report January 1 to March 31, 2015
time the non-controlling interests in HoMAG Group AG amounting to € 91,718 thousand were removed from the Group‘s equity. At the same time a sundry financial liability for the obligation to purchase the shares and to pay compen-sation claims and any taxes incurred in this connection was recorded. the re-sulting difference between the non-controlling interests removed and the newly included sundry financial liability reduces the retained earnings in the Group‘s equity by € 34,033 thousand. From now on the earnings of HoMAG Group AG are assigned in full to the Dürr shareholders and no earnings are assigned to non-controlling interests.
Due to the conclusion of the domination and profit transfer agreement with HoMAG Group AG the sundry financial liability vis-à-vis the schuler/Klessmann shareholder group consisting of options was revalued as this shareholder group is now entitled to claim compensation payments. Consequently, an amount of € 3,823 thousand was recorded as an expense.
4. earnings per share
earnings per share is determined pursuant to IAs 33 “earnings per share“. earnings per share is calculated as the profit share of the shareholders of Dürr AG divided by the weighted average number of shares issued. the calculation is presented in the table below. there were no dilutive effects in the first three months of 2015 and 2014.

7. Income taxes
Income tax expenditure for the first three months of 2015 is dominated by non-recurring special effects from the inclusion in the financial statements of the domination and profit transfer agreement with HoMAG Group AG. tax expen-diture amounting to € 6,575 thousand results in particular from non-recurring discounting effects and future tax payments over the lifetime of the agreement. Furthermore, non-deductible tax expenses in connection with the domination and profit transfer agreement were also recorded. If these had been tax-deduc-tible this would have reduced the tax expenditure by € 1,209 thousand.
8. Assets held for sale and associated liabilities
the assets and related liabilities of the entity Dürr Automation s.A.s. in France, which had been classified as held for sale since December 20, 2013, were sold on January 14, 2015. the assets and liabilities sold were allocated to the Measuring and Process systems division.
Assets held for sale also contain a plot of developed land as well as various other items of property, plant and equipment in Germany measured at fair va-lue. Dürr expects these items of property, plant and equipment to be sold in the 2015 reporting period. As of March 31, 2015, the assets classified as held for sale were allocated to the Woodworking Machinery and systems division.

10. Financing of the Group
In April 2015, the Board of Management of Dürr AG and the Board of Management of HoMAG Group AG decided to terminate the syndicated loan of HoMAG Group AG effective May 29, 2015. In return, the cash facility of the Dürr AG syndicated loan will be increased by € 150,000 thousand and the guarantee facility by € 15,000 thousand. It is planned to include the HoMAG Group in the Group financing of Dürr AG and thus to reduce the finance costs for the Group as a whole.
the syndicated loan utilised by the HoMAG Group with a book value of € 67,359 thousand was classified as short-term on March 31, 2015. special effects were re-corded in net interest with an effect on expenditure due to the adjustments.
In addition, a loan amounting to UsD 15,000 thousand was prematurely repaid.
11. other notes on financial instruments
In order to make the fair value measurement of financial instruments comparable, a fair value hierarchy has been introduced in IFRss with the following three levels:
� Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)
� Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (level 2)
� Inputs that are not based on observable market data (level 3)
47
Interim Report January 1 to March 31, 2015
the financial instruments measured at fair value by Dürr break down as follows according to the fair value hierarchy levels:

the changes in the fair value of the liabilities reported in level 3 were reported in profit or loss or directly in equity. no reclassifications were made between the fair value hierarchy levels in the first three months of 2015.
valuation techniquesthe fair value of the derivative financial assets and liabilities allocated to level 2 of the fair value hierarchy is based on daily observable spot foreign exchange rates and interest yield curves. In connection with IFRs 13 “Fair Value Measurement”, both the counterparty credit risk and own risk of default have been taken into account during measurement. Input factors to take into account the counterparty credit risk are credit default swaps (CDss), observable on the markets, of the credit institution involved in the respective transaction. If there is no CDs for a single credit institu-tion, a synthetic CDs is derived from other observable market data (such as rating information). the counterparty credit risk is minimized by diversifying its portfolio and selecting its counterparties carefully. to calculate its own risk of default, Dürr receives information from credit institutions and insurance companies which is used to derive a synthetic CDs for Dürr.
the fair value of the put options and contingent purchase price installments allo-cated to level 3 in the fair value hierarchy is calculated based on internal planning data. this includes expected results of each company as well as expected sales fi-gures of specific products on which the amount of the financial liability depends. An adjustment to the planning data is made if there are indications that warrant such a measure. If applicable, unwinding effects resulting from the approaching maturity date are also included in the valuation.

Sensitivity level 3For the obligations from options recognized in connection with the acquisition of the HoMAG Group, there is no sensitivity as a fixed price for the shares was agreed.
For the put option for CPM s.p.A., no sensitivity calculations have to be performed as of March 31, 2015, as the value is already fixed as of the next possible exercise date.
the liability from contingent purchase price installments associated with the acquisition of Dürr Cyplan Ltd., classified to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, would be € 45 thousand (Dec. 31, 2014: € 46 thousand) higher if the terms of the contract were met one year earlier than expected. Furthermore, this would involve a cash outflow of € 500 thousand. If the terms of the contract had been fulfilled one year later than expected, the liability from contingent purchase price installments would be reduced by € 56 thousand (Dec. 31, 2014: € 56 thousand).
the put option in connection with the acquisition of Dürr thermea GmbH (former-ly thermea energiesysteme GmbH) would not change if the planned eBIt of the company increased (decreased) by 10 % over the next three years. In such circum-stances, the call option (currently € 0 thousand) would also remain unchanged as the proportionate business value of Dürr thermea GmbH does not exceed the cap-ped exercise price on account of a 10 % variation in eBIt.
Fair values of financial instruments carried at amortized costthe table below shows the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities carried at cost or amortized cost. the fair value of financial instruments not carried at amor-tized cost approximates their carrying amount (with the exception of available-for-sale financial assets measured at cost because their fair value cannot be deter-mined reliably).

Interim Report January 1 to March 31, 2015
It was not possible to determine the fair values of equity interests measured at cost of € 15,588 thousand because market prices were not available as no active mar-kets exist. the equity interests in eleven non-listed entities were not measured by discounting future cash flows because they could not be reliably measured. In this case, it was assumed that their fair value approximates their carrying amount. At present Dürr does not have any plans to sell these equity interests.
the fair value of non-current liabilities is based on the current interest rate for borrowing under similar terms and conditions with comparable due date and credit rating. With the exception of the bond, the Campus financing loan and several loans of the HoMAG Group, the fair value of liabilities approximates the carrying amount. the fair value of the bond (fair value hierarchy level 1) is calculated by multiplying the nominal value with the quoted price at the end of the reporting period. As of March 31, 2015, the bond was quoted at 109.00 % which is equal to a market value of € 327,000 thousand. on December 31, 2014, the bond was quoted at 106.50 % which is equal to a market value of € 319,500 thousand. the fair value of the Campus loan (fair value hierarchy level 2) and the loans of the HoMAG Group (fair value hierarchy level 2) are determined by discounting the cash flows with the current market in-terest rates for comparable loans.
Financial assets which are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or a similar agreementsome derivative financial instruments concluded with credit institutions are subject to certain contractual netting agreements which allow Dürr, in the event of a credit institution filing for insolvency, to offset certain financial assets against certain fi-nancial liabilities.

12. segment reporting
the segment reporting was prepared according to IFRs 8 “operating segments”. Based on the internal reporting and organizational structure of the Group, the data contained in the consolidated financial statements is presented by division. the pre-sentation of segments is designed to provide details on the results of operations, net assets and financial position of individual activities.
the reporting is based on the divisions of the Group. As of March 31, 2015, the Dürr Group consisted of the Corporate Center and five divisions differentiated by product and service range, each with global responsibility for their products and results. the Corporate Center mainly comprises Dürr AG and Dürr technologies GmbH as management holding companies and Dürr It service GmbH, which performs It ser-vices throughout the Group. transactions between the divisions are carried out at arm’s length.
Management monitors the eBIt (earnings before investment income, interest and income taxes) of its five divisions separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and evaluating operating segment performance as well as the development of the segments. the basis for segment reporting in accordance with IFRs 8 is the same as that used internally (management approach). Group financing (including finance costs and finance income) and income taxes are mana-ged on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

this interim report is the english translation of the German original. the German version shall prevail.
this interim report includes forward-looking statements about future developments. As is the case for any business activity conducted in a global environment, such forward-looking statements are always subject to uncertainty. our information is based on the conviction and assumptions of the Board of Management of Dürr AG, as developed from the information currently available. However, the following factors may affect the success of our strategic and operating measures: geopolitical risks, changes in general economic conditions (especially a prolonged recession), exchange rate fluctuations and changes in interest rates, new products launched by competitors, and a lack of customer acceptance for new Dürr products or services, including growing competitive pressure. should any of these factors or other imponderable circumstances arise, or should the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may differ from those projected. Dürr AG undertakes no obligation to provide continuous updates of forward-looking statements and infor-mation. such statements and information are based upon the circumstances as of the date of their publication.
